Show Notes:

• DCCC Hacked in Series of Cyberattacks Against Democratic Groups 
• Report: DNC Warned About Hack
• Biden on DNC Hack: ‘Totally Consistent With Who Putin Is’ 

Clapper: #Russia tries to exert influence on pol process in Europe; not great leap that they may be motivated to do the same thing in US.

If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!

In order to try and deflect the horror and stupidity of the Wikileakes disaster, the Dems said maybe it is Russia dealing with Trump. Crazy!

The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails, which should never have been written (stupid), because Putin likes me
